Hawaii’s position in the middle of the Pacific Ocean gives the state a unique role as a state. Hawaii has developed a huge tourism industry, drawing visitors to its shores known for its beautiful beaches, lush mountains and active volcanoes. Hawaii is also known, however, for the tropical goods it exports to the mainland and the rest of the world—pineapples, sugarcane, macadamia nuts and coffee. With a year round growing season and ample rain, the Hawaiian isles are the perfect place to grow a variety of different fruits and vegetables that simply won’t grow well on the mainland. Many of these agricultural products have become synonymous with the state over time and now there are tourist attractions built up around some of these industries. Want to see where Dole pineapples come from or tour a Kona coffee factory? Hawaii is the place to do it.

The bay is curved in the shape of a ‘U’ forming it into a its own little cove protected from the heavy ocean currents, tides, and waves. It is that that makes Hanauma Bay perfect for snorkeling and diving. In 1967 the bay was declared a marine life preservation area and underwater park.

Home of the world’s finest Estate chocolate, the Hawaiian Chocolate Company does not go the traditional route of making their chocolate from cocoa beans from various parts of the world. Instead, they grow cocoa beans from their own cacao trees. For five months, they wait until the pods are ripe before handpicking and slicing them open.
